Ling Tian Sword God

After advancing his cultivation to the Intermediate Half-Saint level, Peerless Sword’s move gained formidable power. Just the strength of his Sword Intent was enough to instill fear, break one’s will, and drive one’s spirit to madness.

All the strong ones near the arena stepped back, especially those with lower cultivation; they dared not stay a moment longer. They had just experienced the terrifying power of the Sword Intent storm which nearly cost them their lives.

However, facing Peerless Sword’s formidable whale-like force, Ling Chen remained unmovable as if it didn’t stir him. In truth, Ling Chen was building momentum. At the moment when the giant whale was about to swallow him, he suddenly swung the Red Sky Sword in his hand, now dyed gold, and swept it horizontally. In an instant, countless golden sword qi surged forth.

”Golden Sword Domain, Infinite Sword Qi!”

The sword qi, seemingly infinite in number, rushed out like a river, pouring into the whale’s enormous mouth. Despite the endless stream of sword qi, in front of the gigantic whale mouth like a bottomless pit, it still amounted to nothing, all swallowed completely.

Swoosh!

Yet as Ling Chen withdrew his form, he did not cease the river of sword qi. The relentless sword qi continued to pour into the whale’s mouth, causing no threat to the whale.

”What is this kid doing? Better save energy and escape.”

Seeing this scene on the arena, Li Tailong’s mouth curled into a mocking smile.

”This is what they call a cornered beast struggling in futile desperation.”

Li Yifeng grinned.

In the face of absolute power, any method is futile and seems laughable.

”Is Ling Yu really that foolish?”

Murong Ziying shook her head. Having sparred with Ling Yu, she knew Ling Chen was undeniably the most efficient swordsman she’d ever seen, incapable of such wasted effort.

”Something’s not right.”

Sima Xiaoyao’s eyes suddenly brightened. ”He’s not countering blindly; he’s employing a method to break through.”

Ling Chen was obviously using the whale’s tendency to swallow everything to break Peerless Sword’s terrifyingly powerful technique.

Crackling!

Just as Sima Xiaoyao had anticipated, a dull sound echoed, and the whale’s momentum slowed, its body bloating unnaturally like an inflated balloon, still trying to fill itself with more.

Boom!

The whale’s body swelled to its limit, bursting into pieces. Black and white interwoven shockwaves spread in rings, a black and white mushroom cloud of air rushed skyward, piercing a massive and unmeasurable hole in the clouds. At this moment, Ling Chen’s body seemed uncontrollable, briefly stalling as the shockwave blew by, swiftly flying backward like a light paper.

Even Peerless Sword felt discomfort; he hadn’t anticipated Ling Chen’s golden sword qi to be so meticulously engineered, highly compressed, with its force encapsulated inside, only to explode entirely upon entering the whale, blowing it apart completely.

The explosive force of this sword qi alone was already powerful enough, and the whale was a very confined environment. Such concentrated sword qi exploding inside was unimaginably powerful, resulting in this extraordinarily fierce shockwave, accumulating its force all at once instead of bursting in waves.

Crack!

The protective True Qi emitted an unpleasant cracking sound as Peerless Sword’s body went numb. He involuntarily flew backward, thrusting his Treasure Sword hard into the stage to slow his retreat, but once he steadied himself, he panted heavily.

Ling Chen, too, wasn’t unscathed. The condensation of so much highly compressed golden sword qi had consumed most of his True Qi. At this moment, his condition was no better than Peerless Sword’s. The explosion aftermath also impacted him violently, causing his blood and qi to surge, nearly making him cough up blood.

But below the arena, an uproar had already begun.

”What, even the Whale Swallowing Nine Provinces of Elder Brother was broken?”

Li Yifeng felt his brain struggling to process this.

While utilizing the True Dragon Emperor War Technique, Peerless Sword’s strength had reached the Intermediate Half-Saint level, and even at this level, his signature move Whale Swallowing Nine Provinces couldn’t handle Ling Chen?

Li Tailong coldly replied, ”Don’t rush, it’s not the last moment yet. Elder Brother still has his ultimate move.”

”You’re right, Elder Brother still has his trump card. Ling Yu has exhausted all options.”

Li Yifeng regained his confidence in Peerless Sword, staring intently at the two figures on the arena.

”To think my Whale Swallowing Nine Provinces was broken?”

A look of disbelief appeared on Peerless Sword’s face. Since his rise to fame, he hadn’t encountered such a challenging battle, where despite all his efforts, he couldn’t overcome Ling Chen, resulting in a mutually severe predicament.

Ling Chen was the largest obstacle he’d ever faced in life. Encountering it, there were only two outcomes: either be tripped by the stone and suffer a bloody fall, or leap over the stone and continue forward.

”I, Peerless Sword, will never be defeated by anyone!”

A firm aura surged from Peerless Sword’s body. Bolstered by this aura, all negative emotions were thoroughly purged. Concentrating all his energy, he continuously channeled True Qi into the Treasure Sword, amassing an immensely majestic Sword Momentum.

”Peerless Sword has another trick up his sleeve?”

Ling Chen found it hard to believe; he’d nearly exhausted all his cards, yet Peerless Sword seemed about to exert force again, launching a new wave of fierce attack.

This person truly deserved to be the king among the younger generation, the foremost of the Imperial Clan’s youth, with potential reaching a terrifying height.

Roar!

The soaring Traceless Sword Intent surged wildly as an overwhelming aura radiated from Peerless Sword, with True Qi intensifying in leaps. The True Dragon Emperor War Technique unleashed far beyond its limits. Due to the intense Sword Intent, and the Traceless Sword Intent having particularly explosive power, the aura around Peerless Sword formed into illusory sword shadows naturally.

In a blink, Peerless Sword was enveloped by sword shadows, resembling a hedgehog bristling with sword spikes. The extreme sword momentum left many people awestruck.

”Peerless Sword is going berserk; what a terrifying aura this is.”

”Is this the true power of Peerless Sword? His strength truly seems boundless. Can Ling Chen withstand it?”

”Forget it; Peerless Sword is simply a monster, beyond human power. Ling Chen will earn honor even if defeated.”

”Don’t make conclusions hastily. Look, Ling Chen is also channeling his Sword Intent with full force, apparently ready to fight Peerless Sword to the bitter end.”

The crowd first focused on Peerless Sword, shaking their heads. Then many turned their gaze to Ling Chen, evidently still holding a thread of hope for him.
